Drinking Liberally — Seattle (4th GOP Debate Edition)

Please join us tonight for an evening of fantasy, whimsy, and war-mongering as Fox Business Network hosts the fourth Republican Primary Debate. Shock and awwwwww (and maybe some drinking games) will prevail at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking liberally.

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the small room at the back of the tavern. Our normal starting time is 8:00 pm, but this week we will start with the debate at 6:00 pm (PST).

Note: We should have sound and video for the debate. But the bar and restaurant has other customers, so the sound may not be as loud as you want, especially with the background of a busy tavern and peripheral conversations. If you are intent on hearing every word, I recommend you bring stuff to stream the audio.

“Trump called for a boycott of Starbucks, because its new winter-themed cups do not feature snowflakes, or make any reference to Christmas, as they have in the past. ‘If I become president, we’re all going to be saying Merry Christmas again, that I can tell you.’ While Trump himself acknowledged the unique nature of the Republican electorate … ”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Really? What’s he going to do, issue an executive order requiring us all to say “Merry Christmas?” Do you go to jail if you don’t comply? He’s right about one thing, though, the Republican electorate is unique …

“Chris Christie is running in fourth place in his home state of New Jersey — and voters there say their governor should drop out of the Republican presidential race and come home, a new poll shows. … 61% of New Jersey voters want Christie to exit the 2016 race, while 33% want him to see it through. The survey shows the damage of the ‘Bridgegate’ scandal.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: And if you believe Christie had nothing to do with “Bridgegate,” and his top aides orchestrated it behind his back without his knowledge, then I’ve got a (closed) bridge to sell you. And the rutabaga truck is stuck in the middle of the bridge.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: The high-end art market is driven by ego, not intrinsic value. “I paid more for my Modigliani cost more than you paid for your Picasso, neener neener.” If Sotheby’s were a gangbanger bar, then guns would come out and shooting would start. Sotheby’s auctions are nothing more than little boys with big wallets rattling their gold chains at each other. These guys couldn’t tell the difference between a Van Gogh and a magazine cover.

What’s the point of having so much money that you spend $170 million on an art piece for lack of anything better to do with it? Of course, it never occurs to these people to feed the hungry, or anything like that. That’s why we need a safety net funded by taxes and run by government, not dependent on private charity.

(2) The grifter: “[Rubio] could get hit on a range of issues including his use of a Florida Republican Party charge card …”

(3) The twig of the Bush family tree: “The … dilemma for Bush … is whether he’s better off being himself … a self-described introvert … or trying to show that he can be an aggressive and combative candidate.” He tipped his hand earlier this week when he promised to kill Baby Hitler if he got the chance.

(4) The center ring clown: “[Trump’s] novelty may be starting to wear thin.”

While the average person mainly notices oil prices at the pump, oil pricing has many ripple effects throughout the economy, so it’s interesting that spokesmen for several oil majors told an international conference in Dubai yesterday they foresee depressed oil prices continuing for several more years. OPEC, many of whose members are hurting, is singing a different tune: they expect oil prices to rise in 2016. Not unless they cut production, which so far they’ve been unwilling to do. Until then, that’s just empty jawboning.

The University of Missouri Police Department sent an email to students Tuesday morning asking them to report “hateful and/or hurtful speech” so that they may pursue disciplinary action.

The email, which was provided to Campus Reform by a student who wishes to remain anonymous, instructs recipients to “call the police immediately” (emphasis in original) if they witness such incidents, and to collect as much information as possible in order to help police identify the perpetrator(s).

You see Roger senile…

Full disclosure: You are just one dumb senile moron! The more you post the more evident it is to everyone here! The progressive libtards have been doing this for years. It’s called FASCISM! Screw the first amendment! Now it’s out in the open and Dr Ben identified it recently!

NEW YORK – The Clinton “spin machine” appears to be behind a report claiming Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has overruled the finding of Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough that two Hillary Clinton emails sent on her private server contained highly classified information, investigative author Ed Klein told WND.

“It’s not true that Director of National Intelligence Clapper has overruled Inspector General Charles McCullough,” Klein said after a careful reading of news articles regarding the FBI’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state.

From Washington to Miami, and from Maine to Hawaii, college athletes are watching the Heartland and seeing undeniable proof of the power they hold. A show of unity and strength from Mizzou’s football players essentially forced Pinkel, the $4 million-per-year coach and most influential man on campus, to back their boycott, which ended when the MU system president and the Columbia campus chancellor each resigned two days later.

Free speech has lost to the mighty $$$ on college campii. And we see that the same progressive libtards have pushed this narrative for so long now their own jobs are in jeopardy!

Oh my Puddy doesn’t need to add commentary here… The Mizzou students are attacking a photog and who is cheering this? Their own progressive libtard media professor and they don’t even know it! http://hotair.com/archives/201.....strations/

Oh my! Pass the popcorn Martha… libtard anarchy and fascism is on display!

242 professors at the University of Washington, representing 4% of the faculty, have so far added their names to a petition against unionizing the school’s faculty.

The group organizing the petition calls itself UW Excellence. Professors Paul Hopkins and Ed Lazowska began the initiative to encourage faculty to consider the actual impact of unionization on the university and not vote based on “whether each of us does or does not support the general concept of represented labor.” Hopkins and Lazowska are encouraging faculty members to fix their name to a “ “Statement of Opposition to Unionization of the Faculty at the University of Washington.”

Dr Ben Carson responded to Donald Trump jumping on the libtard bandwagon only to be proven wrong… Dr Ben Carson asked, “What does it say about people who immediately jump on the bandwagon when they hear something bad rather than waiting and finding out what the truth is? I would not be anxious to have a Commander-in-Chief who acts like that.”

@6 Are you in favor of that? Students turning each other in to the campus cops for saying something they don’t like, so the university can take disciplinary action? Your favorite presidential candidate wants to make that a model for the entire nation. And you call ME a fascist??!!

Golly Roger senile… you are one interminable moron. Your pellet… Your favorite presidential candidate wants to make that a model for the entire nation. And you call ME a fascist??!!

You still can’t get what Dr Ben has called for! And YES! We whom think right are calling you a FASCIST! Dr Ben calls for the monitoring of the FASCIST speech found on universities! The Missouri student body is being held up for them being FASCIST! The students were upset that U of M, your alma mater, didn’t react to the Hands Up Don’t Shoot lie like you reacted to Roger senile! Now we see how U of M has reacted!

To lib the racist unscientist. You need to change from where you post lib. You farted useless vaues… The money statement

The pro-unionization camp concedes that the decision to unionize under the SEIU, which primarily represents health care workers, was political. On its website, the pro-union group UW Faculty Forward claims that “the existing strength of SEIU in Washington State, with more than 100,000 members, means that we would immediately attain a major voice in state politics and higher education legislation.”

Internal union sources report the Freedom Foundation is being referred to as the, “group that killed SEIU 925.”

When the state and SEIU 925 made it clear they would take no action to inform providers of the Harris decision and its implications, the Freedom Foundation stepped up to the plate.

Can’t tell the truth to an employee about what the SEIU is really up to. We already know what they did back in 2010 with intimidation tactics in other places in America. Puddy posted it. Just grow some BALLS and ask the crazed clueless databaze deala for a replay!

I’m sure tonight is going to be about how bad the Media is…..bad Media, bad Media.

Not like we need to focus on the economy and investing in our infrastructure and being less like a Nazi state. More importantly, let’s get rid of the Media – if we don’t get rid of the media we can’t pull the wool over everyone’s eyes, just the pathetic few. Censorship! That’s what we should be talking about……oh, you mean there is a thing called freedom of speech? How about we just r around the edge and just call the media a bunch of fucks.

@9 we all know you love free speech when it denigrates everyone but yourself…..oh, but no one can say the N word……because Puffy doesn’t like it.

I’m sure if that President was doing the equivalent of denying someone marriage rights because their religious beliefs (not rights to discriminate) then you would be eating this shit up and lapping it up; you would be loving it, if they protested and didn’t play, if they were defending him for his religious beliefs….

UW faculty are employees of the State of Washington. Family Child Care workers are employees of private, state subsidized providers. Pretty huge difference. Yet still, over half of these private employees choose to affiliate with the union

And the SEIU looks for their easy pickings in UW professors eh lib the racist unscientist… All for politics eh lib the racist unscientist? Extracting $1000.year per perfessa to scream about issues most UW perfessas already jock strap?

In July 2014, 6,633 family child care providers were paid by the state and 6,633 paid union dues. Following the implementation of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Harris v. Quinn decision and thanks to a comprehensive (and ongoing) educational campaign by the Freedom Foundation, 3,652 (51.4 percent) of Washington’s 7,103 family child care providers had resigned their membership in SEIU 925 and ceased paying dues.

Oh well lib the racist unscientist… Yes your connection locations haven’t changed over the years so closeted noplay is really lib the racist unscientist! You can continue to fool the DUMMOCRETINS here!

Roger Rabbit Commentary: The most common complaint from Cheap Labor Conservatives about minimum wage laws is that government should stay out of it and let the free market determine wages. That sure isn’t the tune they sang back in slavery days. There was nothing “free” about the slave economy. It was maintained with laws and government force. That was the ONLY way they could get people to work for $0 an hour. Slaves weren’t allowed to quit. They would have if they could have. And we all know which side of the slavery issue the Cheap Labor Conservatives of that era were on, don’t we? So all this whining about government interference with free market wages is dripping with the ultimate hypocrisy.

“What does it say about people who immediately jump on the bandwagon hoax when they hear something bad in a fake paper rather than waiting and finding out what the truth is and then telling that the hoax was the truth for three decades? I would not be anxious to have a Commander-in-Chief who acts like that.”

In a free market, wages are based on what employers are willing to pay and workers are willing to accept. All these workers are doing is communicating what they’re willing to accept. Why does anyone have a problem with that? But the wingnuts are going batshit over it. They apparently think a “free market” should be a one-sided affair under which only employers have a say about wages. Of course, that isn’t freedom, it’s merely slavery under a different name.

“What does it say about people who immediately jump on the bandwagon make up scientific theories when they hear something bad in a bible rather than waiting and finding out what the truth weigh the evidence of Egyptology experts’ combined centuries of research? I would not be anxious to have a Commander-in-Chief who acts like that.”

@19 I was never really worried about Obama turning into a dictator, despite all the hysterical shrieking from the freaky right. But then, I’m a lawyer who knows something about constitutional law, whereas they don’t know shit from shinola about basic civics or anything else. That’s what homeschooling has done to our national literacy. The way things are going, Afghanistan will soon have better reading comprehension scores than the good ol’ USA.

Not as wine nerdy as you may think but people were defrauded millions of dollars seeking out super old wine from “found” cellars throughout France. Bill Koch (yes that Koch) makes an apperance as the guy who got pissed off enough at being ripped off that he paid for the investigation and lawsuit that brought the whole thing down.

One good thing that came out of last week’s election is that all the Koch-backed wingnuts who were trying to turn Colorado’s public schools into brainwashing institutes were thrown off the school boards. Every damned last one of ’em. Every single one of those goons facing recall got dumped, and every single one of those incumbents facing reelection lost. They’re ALL gone!!! Now things can return to normal in Colorado schools.

Just wait, in a few years we’re going to have a tidal wave of homeschooled kids hitting the job market in states like Texas who will be unemployable because they can’t pass a basic aptitude test. (How do you employ someone who can’t do arithmetic?) Then the wingnuts responsible for this mess will demand that taxpayers pay for hugely expensive remedial education programs so their children don’t become lifetime welfare wards of the state. And, of course, they’ll be looking for someone to blame …

But I have a confession to make to all – about 6 years ago I attacked my grandmother with a hammer, and then about 6 years later, after visiting the Egyptian Pyramids to see Joseph’s grain, I stabbed my aunt and uncle.

But then about 1 year later, I went to prison and I found God, so now I am thinking of becoming a football player so I can point to the sky.
